COPA LIBERTADORES: River Plate & Lanus advance to Quarters

Hey everyone,

It was a good night for futbol Argentino last night. River Plate advanced to the quarter finals despite last night’s 1-1 second-leg draw in the Monumental to Guarani. Lucas ALARIO scored the winner for River. Lanus claimed a 2-1 aggregate victory as well thanks to Jose SAND’S 85th minute winner against visiting The Strongest. Both teams become the first two teams to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

River Plate will find out who they will play in the quarter finals today in the deciding match between Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro and Bolivian club Jorge Wilstermann. Lanus will play the winner of Thursday’s San Lorenzo vs Emelec match.

River Plate have won the Libertadores three times: 1986, 1996, and 2015.

Here are the goals:

Lionel MESSI, Ever BANEGA and more with goals in pre-season

As the European friendly matches come to an end, there were still some pre-season trophies to be won and goals to be scored. Lionel MESSI, Ever BANEGA, Nicolas GAITAN and Gio SIMEONE all scored for their clubs.

Lionel MESSI scored the second of Barcelona’s five in their 5-0 victory against Chapecoense of Brazil. The Joan Gampter Trophy was MESSI and MASCHERANO’s last pre-season match ahead of their Spanish Super Cup match against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Ever BANEGA also found the back of the net for Sevilla as he scored both of his team’s goals against Everton in their 2-2 draw at Goodison Park. The Argentina man will look to have a big season under fellow Argentinian Eduardo BERIZZO who took over from current Argentina National Team manager Jorge SAMPAOLI. BANEGA‘s first came following a run inside the area from fellow Argentina team mate Joaquin CORREA. His second was from the penalty spot.

Still in England, Atletico Madrid (lead by the ever energetic Diego SIMEONE) picked up a 2-3 win against Brighton with Nicolas GAITAN scoring.

Speaking of Diego SIMEONE, his son Giovanni scored for Genoa in their 4-0 win against Dutch team Heereneveen. SIMEONE, just like on BANEGA’s second, scored from the spot.

Javier PASTORE and Ezequiel LAVEZZI net for their clubs

Javier PASTORE and Ezequiel LAVEZZI were both on the scoresheets for their clubs.

While all the talk in Paris was regarding NEYMAR’s 222 million move, there was still a Ligue 1 match to be played for the club. PSG hosted Amiens SC in their opening match of the season and picked up a 2-0 victory courtesy of a goal by CAVANI and Argentina’s own Javier PASTORE. PASTORE netted the second of the match. Already 28 years old, this season (especially right before the World Cup) can be seen as a make or break one for flaco.

From Paris all the way to China, PASTORE’s former team mate with the National Team Ezequiel LAVEZZI scored for Hebei China Fortune in their 3-0 win against Yanbian. Both LAVEZZI and PASTORE’s goals are similar as the pass came in from the right hand side and a finish from inside the area.
